Q: Checkboxes in a PHP foreach POST php form I've made dynamic forms that can update an entire list of options with a single submit button, using the foreach($_POST) technique, but for some reason, I am having issues achieving the same thing with checkbox inputs.
No matter which checkboxes I deselect, the script that evaluates the checkboxes and treats the final rows in the form as the ones I deselected.  In other words, no matter which checkbox I deselect, the POST script will determine the final checkbox was deselected.  It's a very strange effect I've never seen before.
For example, this PHP array fetch generates rows of inventory items with the option to hide the item.
****Note that I have not put in the security measures yet.  When I see this work logically I will sanitize everything.  I don't even want to use REQUEST at the moment, but I want to see this work first.
<form action="update.php" method="post">
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($histresult))
    {
                echo '
';
                //We grab the product id as well as everything else we need.
                $customer_id= $row['customer_id'];
                $product_id= $row['product_id'];
                $link = $row['image_path'];
                $name = $row['name'];
                $sku_item_number = $row['sku_item_number'];
                $suggested_quantity = $row['suggested_quantity'];
                $sales_info = $row['sales_info'];
                $item_id = $row['id_product_customer_suggested_qty'];
                $customer_level = $row['level'];

                //Visibility Option Goes here
                echo '';
                echo '<input name="i" type="hidden" value="'.$i.'">
                <input name="product_id[]" type="hidden" value="'.$product_id.'">
                <input name="customer_id[]" type="hidden" value="'.$customer_view.'">
                <input name="customer_level[]" type="hidden" value="'.$customer_level.'">';

                echo '<input name="cart_visible[]" type="checkbox" value = "1"';
                if (!in_array($product_id, $hidden))
                {
                    echo 'checked = "checked"';
                }
                echo '>	';
                echo '';
                echo ''.$name.'';
                 echo '	';
                 echo ''.$sku_item_number.'	';
                 echo ''.$product_id.'	';
                 echo ''.$sales_info.'	';
                 echo ''.$suggested_quantity.'	';
                         echo '
';
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit">
</form>

//And then update.php looks like this:

$j=0;
foreach($_REQUEST['product_id'] as $key=>$product_id)
{
    echo 'j value is '.$j.'
';
    $customer_id = $_REQUEST['customer_id'][$key];
    $customer_level = $_REQUEST['customer_level'][$key];
    $price_level_id = $_REQUEST['price_level_id'][$key];
    $cart_visible = $_REQUEST['cart_visible'][$key];

    if ($cart_visible != 1)
    {
        $cart_visible = 0;
    }
    //echo 'Customer ID is '.$customer_id.'
';
    echo 'Testing - Product ID is '.$product_id.'
';
    //echo 'Customer Level is '.$customer_level.'
';
    //echo 'Price Level ID is '.$price_level_id.'
';
    echo 'Cart visibility selection is '.$cart_visible.'
';
}

The echoing debug lines reveal that no matter which rows I deselect, it treats the final rows in the form as the ones that are deselected.  For example, if there are ten rows and I deselect the checkboxes of rows 1, 3, and 8, the form will act like the user deselected the 8th, 9th and 10th checkbox.  Why would it do this exclusively for checkboxes?

A: When you post a checkbox that was deselected, it does not send its "value", hence is not in POST.
If the checkbox was part of an array name, and there were ten checkbox's, 3 deselected, the resulting array in POST will simply have 7 indexs 0 to 6.
to solve this problem, give the checkbox names a value for the array..
I may have not properly understood your code, but something like this
$ite=0;
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($histresult)){
      //....
      echo '<input name="cart_visible['.$ite.']" type="checkbox" value = "1"';
      //....
      $ite++;
}

Now, say you deselected checkbox number 3, which means the 3rd index will not be there. $cart_visible part of code should look something like this
//if checkbox value exists, make $cart_visible to that value, else make $cart_visible to 0
$cart_visible = isset($_REQUEST['cart_visible'][$key])?$_REQUEST['cart_visible'][$key]:0;

and remove the if statement for $cart_visible

How long will the warm weather last in Lancashire?
The unseasonably warm weather is set to last a little longer in Lancashire. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
Parts of the UK have been enjoying above-average temperatures which are expected to last into next week.
An unseasonably mild 17.6C was recorded in London on Saturday, while the Met Office believes Friday into Saturday was likely one of the warmest February nights on record with 14.5C recorded at Achnagart in Scotland.
READ MORE: All your latest local news
The mild weather is a marked contrast to the low temperatures and snow brought by the Beast from the East just 12 months ago.
Met Office meteorologist Emma Smith said: "These conditions are going to be continuing until Tuesday and then on Wednesday it starts to turn a little bit cooler in the North West, but certainly eastern and southern areas are going to still be quite mild."
She said temperatures of up to 18C could be felt on Monday and Tuesday.
"London, for example, should be 9C at this time of year. Inland Wales should be 6C or 7C, around the coast of Wales it should be 8C.
"Northern England should be around about 5C to 7C - 5C inland, 7C around the coast.
"Northern Ireland 7C or 8C, Scotland, generally around about 6C to 7C, around the coast and inland.
"So obviously some places seeing temperatures 10 degrees above the average."
The warmest February day in Scotland was recorded this week when Aboyne in Aberdeenshire hit the maximum temperature of 18.3C on Thursday afternoon.
It beats the previous high of 17.9C recorded in Aberdeen on February 22, 1897.
The maximum temperature of that day nearly 122 years ago was matched at 12.23pm and by 1.39pm the mercury had risen another 0.4C.

Q: Error: Converting object to an encodable object failed: Instance of 'CariModel' I know there are a lot of answers of this question but I can't find my problem.
I have a WEB API under development. I coded the POST method in the API. It works flawlessly.
I am trying to implement in my flutter project this post method with Dio package. But I get this error:
Error: Converting object to an encodable object failed: Instance of 'CariModel'

I am not going to share my WEB API codes because it is working.
This is my post method in Flutter:
saveCari(CariModel cari) async {
    try {
      final result = await Dio()
          .post("${ConstantProvider.BASE_URL}CariBilgiler", data: cari);
      if (result.statusCode == 200) {
        return result;
      }
    } on DioError catch (e) {
      print("Type: ${e.type.toString()}");
      print("Message: ${e.message}");
      print("Error: ${e.error}");
    }
  }

This is CariModel class:
 import 'dart:convert';

CariModel CariModelFromMap(String str) => CariModel.fromMap(json.decode(str));

String CariModelToMap(CariModel data) => json.encode(data.toMap());

class CariModel {
  CariModel({
    required this.cariKod,
    required this.cariUnvan1,
    required this.cariUnvan2,

  });
  final String? cariKod;
  final String? cariUnvan1;
  final String? cariUnvan2;

  factory CariModel.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> json) => CariModel(
        cariKod: json["cari_kod"],
        cariUnvan1: json["cari_unvan1"],
        cariUnvan2: json["cari_unvan2"],
      );
  Map<String, dynamic> toMap() => {
        "cari_kod": cariKod,
        "cari_unvan1": cariUnvan1,
        "cari_unvan2": cariUnvan2,
      };
}

Finally, I am calling this save method here:
  floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () async {
          CariViewModel cari = CariViewModel();
          await cari.saveCari(CariModel(
            cariKod: cariKoduController.text,
            cariUnvan1: cariUnvanController.text,
            cariUnvan2: cariUnvanController.text,
          ));
        },
        backgroundColor: Color(MyColors.bg01),
        child: const Icon(
          Icons.save,
        ),
      ),

I have not been able to resolve the root point from which this error originates. Can you help me with this error?

Descended from the original factory customs, the Dyna™ series lives at the crossroads of style and performance. Born of an undying urge to chase far-flung horizons. This year, the family gets a wheel-to-wheel redesign. One look and you see the machine is substantial in every detail. From the mass of the 49 mm raked forks to the muscular 160mm rubber in back. On top of the new tough look, you'll notice performance upgrades, too. Beginning with a whole new gearbox. The all-new 6-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission is ready to kick its legs out on the open road. The clutch takes less effort to pull, making all six gears even more satisfying. A new frame, new 1" front and rear axles, and a wide swingarm make handling tighter than ever. Also for 2006, you'll find all Dyna 1450cc Big Twins equipped with consistently smooth-operating Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) standard for the first time ever. You might find it hard to believe, but we did all this without compromising affordability. No one but Harley-Davidson® could ever take the factory custom to a place this good. One look at the Wide Glide® and any thought of a domesticated life flies off like dust in the wind. It's a stunning redesign in the spirit of the early choppers. You'll find the profile is longer than ever. From the added rake of the 49mm fork, back to the striking new shape of the bobtail fender. Internal wiring in the new 1.25"-thick factory ape hangers makes for an even cleaner look. The new flame tank graphic is in keeping with true Wide Glide style. Chrome Profile Laced wheels. 160mm rear tire. Vibration-isolated Twin Cam 88® running through the new 6-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission. Distant lands beckon. Settle in, stretch out to the forward controls, and answer the call. For a limited time, we are offering one-of-a kind, custom color combinations that are over and above the standard two-tone color options available during the model year. These limited color combinations come with a custom decal that is only available through the Custom Color program. Each color has unique complementing pinstripes.

Oscars Won't Present Best Popular Film Category Next Year After All
Academy Awards / Sept. 6, 2018
Other previously announced changes will remain.
In a press release from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the previously announced Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film category won't be coming to the 91st Oscars ceremony after all.
The Academy said that adding the new Oscars category merits further study, stating "The Academy recognized that implementing any new award nine months into the year creates challenges for films that have already been released. The Board of Governors continues to be actively engaged in discussions, and will examine and seek additional input regarding this category."
Other previously announced changes coming to the 91st Academy Awards in 2019 will remain, including shortening the telecast length to three hours by presenting six to eight categories during commercial breaks.
"There has been a wide range of reactions to the introduction of a new award, and we recognize the need for further discussion with our members," said Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. "We have made changes to the Oscars over the years—including this year—and we will continue to evolve while also respecting the incredible legacy of the last 90 years."
When news of a "Best Popular Film" category originally broke, many fans and critics disapproved of the populist category. Soon after announcing the changes, we referred to the change as a "terrible mistake."
The 91st Oscars will be broadcast on February 24, 2019, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The scene: Lots of cute kids eating our Super-Ginger cookies. You can find those cookies this week at Reliable Cheese. Also, many tourists (Patriots Day weekend) and Full Frame-goers out in the sunny 70-degree weather.
Our awesome customers: Harriet (with more bartered Passover treats!), MC&EC&SMG, Laura S. & family, Marybeth+1, Renata F. (our giveaway winner!), Susan S., Horst, Heather M., Holly B., AS, Mariya+1, Roseanne, Adam R., Allie&Jeff.
The crew: Thanks to AR helping out in the kitchen this week, and to SZ and RML at the stand and RG on the delivery route. Spring weather is one of the best times to enjoy being out and engaging others who value and support our local economy.
Coming attractions: With the sinking of our hopes to join the DFM (they still have not replied to my letter of inquiry), we brainstormed hard about how best to build out the business in the coming year. After inspiration from various sources (Tarts by Tarts, the Tartist Laura S., and Pi(e) Day), we decided to start wholesaling individual sweet and savory tartlets to local cafes. Assuming the weather holds, we will have individual-sized tarts this weekend at the stand and we have a couple of trial orders going out to select cafes next week. If you know a cafe that might like to stock our product, please email berenbaums at gmail dot com. Thanks!
Tartletts - I love that word! They will surely be a hit if Berenbaums bakes them.
Congratulations on a milestone year of blogging. Great job!
Thanks Mom! Your blogging for the library inspires me.


The MICEP accreditation process is divided into the following blocks: Stages, Tasks, Categories, Activities, and Hours. Activity and Hour requirements are listed below.
MICEP has three Stages: Application, Review, and Final Processing. The Application Stage consists of individual Tasks that must be completed by applicants before submissions can be made. The heart of the Application Stage involves the compiling of Activities and Hours in several broad Categories.
Upon submission, applications move to the Review Stage. Our Board of Review is comprised of dedicated individuals who are themselves MICEP designees. Reviewers check submissions for completeness, assure eligibility requirements have been met, and perform detailed evaluations of the information provided, paying particular attention to Hours, inclusive dates, and supporting documentation. Reviewers may contact applicants to seek clarification or request additional information, and may annotate the applications.
During the Final Processing Stage, administrators evaluate the comments and recommendations made by reviewers, and may spot-check applications. Administrators also contact professional references. Applicants then receive official notification by email and phone concerning the status of their designations.
Note that in the first three Categories, applicants are the providers of aviation education and services; the transfer of knowledge and expertise in these Categories flow primarily from the applicants to others. In the last two Categories, however, applicants are the receivers of aviation education and the beneficiaries of membership in the aviation community; the transfer of knowledge and the sense of community associated with these Categories flow primarily from others to the applicants.
The bulk of the application process is spent documenting qualifying Activities that have occurred within the preceding 24 calendar months of submitting an application.
Each Activity submitted for review must include the number of Hours devoted to it. The quality of the Activity, which the applicant describes with a brief statement of relevance, is also considered. Some type of supporting documentation must accompany each Activity claimed as well, and each Activity with its supporting documentation must form a unique, standalone unit from every other Activity.
It is highly recommended that like activities be combined whenever possible. For example, conducting 10 flight reviews adding up to 10 hours of ground plus 10 hours of flight time should be considered one Activity called Flight Reviews totaling 20 Hours. If necessary in situations where disparate activities in a given Category individually do not meet the minimum Hours per Activity, it is permissible to combine those activities into a single Activity called Miscellaneous to meet requirements.
Applicants often find that their activities can fit into more than one Category, or that a broader activity can be divided into multiple MICEP Activities. And while a specific Activity can only be claimed once, applicants have the flexibility to place their Activities into any suitable Category as necessary to satisfy requirements.
When logging creditable Hours for an Activity, all of the time spent with students / trainees, or otherwise invested in completing the Activity, can be counted provided those Hours occurred within the preceding 24 calendar months of submitting an application. Hours must be recorded as whole numbers, rounded down (e.g., 123.8 = 123).
As with Activities, Hours can only be claimed once, i.e., the same Hours cannot be applied to more than one Activity. However, a block of Hours can be split among Activities. For example, assume an applicant has logged 30 hours preparing for and delivering an aviation-related seminar. If desirable, the applicant could divide this into two Activities: one Activity with the 20 Hours associated with researching and creating the seminar, which can be applied to the Media Category; and one Activity with the 10 Hours associated with giving the seminar, which can be applied to the Educator Category, or even the Service Category if the seminar was done pro bono.
Note: Applicants may apply for multiple designations by submitting separate, stand-alone applications for each designation (e.g., MCFI and MGI). The Hours claimed, however, must be unique to the particular designation being sought (e.g., the Hours claimed for an MCFI designation become ineligible for use toward an MGI designation).

Whether you're thinking about a destination wedding or live locally, consider Cabarrus County for your big day!
Just minutes north of Charlotte in North Carolina's piedmont region, the favorable climate and southern charm here are ideal for ceremonies any time of year. To help envision your happily ever after, here are four venues suited perfectly for each season.
The Saratoga Springs is a plantation-style wedding venue located in the quaint town of Mount Pleasant. Set on 22 acres including a garden for ceremonies, it is reminiscent of the O'Hara estate in "Gone With the Wind." This venue offers the Southern Fairytale Package, complete with outdoor ceremony site, a horse-drawn carriage for the bride's arrival and the bride and groom's departure, and a four-hour reception with tents, centerpieces and an in-house event designer.
The Oaks Events is a beautiful lakeside venue located in Midland. It offers limited lodging in the property's event house and weekend wedding packages to create a little getaway for your guests. There are also tons of great options on-site for your wedding portraits, including the event house, gazebo, open fields and a dock by the lake. If you envision a laid-back, rustic or lakeside wedding, this is the venue for you.
Ritchie Hill is a newer wedding venue, but the home itself is rooted in deep history. Built in 1906, it sits on more than four acres in historic Concord, NC, offering a beautiful and historic southern Victorian period-correct wedding venue with modern finishes. After serving as a home for four generations, the house underwent renovations in 2014 and opened as a venue in March 2015. Some amenities include a covered 1,800square-foot front porch with ceiling fans, wood-burning fire pits with an outdoor seating area, and market-style outdoor string lights.
Located in the Historic District of Concord, The Hotel Concord is one of the area's oldest hotels with a grandiose Art Deco ballroom. This is the venue for couples who live for the glitz and the glamor of the Great Gatsby era and swoon over vintage chandeliers dripping in crystal. It's also a good pick for those looking to have a large wedding, since the space can accommodate up to 450 guests.
Interested in other venues the area has to offer? See the full list of more stunning venues in Cabarrus County.

Authorities close Radio Bombolom FM permanently
Reporters Without Borders is concerned about the serious deterioration of the press freedom situation in Guinea-Bissau following the permanent closure of the country's main opposition radio station. "The situation has been getting increasingly worse since the expulsion of the Portuguese radio and television broadcaster's bureau chief in December. Today the government is silencing one of the country's most critical media voices once and for all," Reporters Without Borders Secretary-General Robert Ménard said in a letter to President Kumba Yala. "This decision is particularly worrying for the future of information pluralism in Guinea-Bissau, with just two months to go before general elections," Ménard added. The organisation asked the president to do everything within his power to ensure that Bombolom FM is allowed to resume broadcasting as soon as possible. Reporters Without Borders recalls that the Guinean head of state was included on the list of 23 "press freedom dunces" denounced by the organisation at the recent Franco-African Summit in Paris. On 27 February 2003, the government announced the permanent withdrawal of Bombolom FM's broadcast permit. The radio station was accused of having demonstrated a lack of "professionalism", "pluralism" and "objectivity" in its news coverage. Bombolom FM was shut down on 13 February for an unspecified period, after an opposition politician criticised President Yala on the air. Secretary of State for Information Joao Manuel Gomes accused the station of "broadcasting false news likely to threaten national sovereignty and the country's stability." Bombolom FM has been a frequent target of the government in recent years, having faced numerous threats and pressure. Several of the station's journalists have also been arrested or summoned by the courts. Reporters without Borders recalls that Portuguese radio and television broadcaster Radiotelevisão Portuguesa (RTP) bureau chief Joao Perreira Da Silva was ordered to leave the country within 48 hours on 6 December 2002. He was accused of disrespecting a government official. The Portuguese Foreign Affairs Ministry protested the journalist's expulsion a few days later. RTP has not replaced its correspondent to date.

Until recently, I had never heard of something called as Website Blindness. A real phenomenon in the digital world, website blindness might turn out to be quite costly for your business. And one thing you are most likely to be guilty of when struck by website blindness is your guess work. Online business owners do a lot guess work from time to time, ultimately relying completely on it to run the show.
This is a bigger concern in the ecommerce industry where guess work could be quite catastrophic. Just because you think you know what your customer wants, does not mean that you are right, and more over with all the confusion in place, you might be losing out on a lot of potential customers. Because unless you make a point to keep your customers in mind during every single step you take, you could be going in the wrong way.
Many people believe that ecommerce will overtake the retail business very soon. The stats talk about a different story. Ecommerce growth which was once a big concern for retailers all over the world, has slowed down since a couple of years and researchers expect it to go on the same way. But what happened to all the hype of ecommerce taking over the entire industry? Part of the slow growth can be attributed to e-commerce companies failing to learn from customer journey and experience. There is no doubt that ecommerce introduced better customer interaction, however it is necessary to realize the fact that it is just not the product that the people desire but also a seamless experience.
Now that you have stayed with me this far, let me tell you a secret. Your trump card today is just not about having a strategy to strengthen your brand value and reach out to a broad audience, but also to optimize your customer journey through micro-interactions for a better conversion ratio.
In today's world, ecommerce is a very noisy industry with new ecommerce websites and online stores popping up every single day. With a plethora of options on the table, your customers have never dealt with such a short attention span. According to a research, an ecommerce website has 5 seconds to grab the attention of a potential customer. This is just the first step in a journey of thousand miles.
Gone are the days of consistent and reliable "search, find, click and buy." From discovery of products to purchase, it was simple, straightforward and easy to navigate. In its place today, we have a set of complicated and more deliberate steps which compel your customer to click on the "buy now" button. With multiple channels in place which allow people to spend more time on research and comparison, the time is split between multiple devices resulting in a drastic change in the customer journey. A learning curve for all the ecommerce websites , the ever evolving customer journey provides ample opportunities to learn from a customer's actual experience and continue to improve upon their journey for better results.

What is the difference between industrial and retail Ethyl Cyanoacrylate?
The difference between industrial cyanoacrylates and the instant adhesives you find in a retail store is purity and variety.
You need high purity, quality cyanoacrylate to produce consistent cure speed and bond strength – essential properties if your process is a fast moving production line.
An inferior quality cyanoacrylate will have variable cure times & strength which can cost a company's reputation dearly.
The retail brands normally have no (or very loose) specific cure speed or strength specifications for the product. This is ok if you are just repairing something around the house – if it takes 3 seconds or 3 minutes to cure it is not a big deal, but this can be a problem on a fast moving production line.
Toughened Ethyls provide more impact resistance.
Modified Ethyls provide high temperature resistance.
Non-blooming, Low Odour Ethyls provide a pleasing aesthetic finish – with no white residue.
Surface Insensitive Ethyls bond to acidic and porous surfaces.
Industrial cyanoacrylate manufacturers offer a range of products which can be tailored to specific applications – giving a better finished bond performance and durability than a generic no-name cyanoacrylate.
The full original blog can be seen on Permabond's website at this link.

Everyone has their all time favorite Christmas Tree ~ Maybe you love New York Citys Rockefeller Center tree all big & bright & shiny. Possibly it's Hong Kongs towering tree covered in Swarovski crystal bands. Perhaps green is your thing and your new favorite tree sits in the center of Madrid draped in low consumption light bulbs.
Here in North Carolina we have this 'thing'. We build stuff out of discarded wine bottles. There are bottle houses, bottle walls & bottle bird feeders to name just a few. One of my favorite recent finds was this bottle Christmas Tree. It's an outdoor affair and what you can't see is the twinkly lights woven around the 'branches'. I took this image in the daytime but I imagine it looks amazing at night when it's all lit up!
Artist Crazy Mary from Holden Beach, NC constructed this delightful Christmas Tree. You can see her colorful art & read more about her @ http://marysgonewild.com/gallery.htm You won't be dissapointed!

Really?! Maybe he has roots in NC via Italy ~ LOL!
I just love the wine bottle art! I recently saw several while in Arizona, although not nearly as colorful as this!
@Lee ~ I just visited a small shop on Floridas' West coast and there was a whole garden full of blue bottle 'bushes'. The insides were lit with tiny white Christmas tree lights & they looked amazing! Guess it just goes to show you, bottle art looks good in NC, NY & Arizona!
I totally agree James! Years ago I saw a home built out of bottles. They were filled with water & embedded in the walls ~ an efficient heating & cooling system, for sure!

Why insider says 2026 Olympics wouldn't have been good fit for Calgary
Italy will host the 2026 Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo — a title that Calgary debated and voted on in 2018.
Rob Livingstone with GamesBids.com was in Switzerland for the announcement on Monday. He said Calgary would have lost to Sweden or Italy because of the way the International Olympic Committee was considering bids.
"The direction the IOC wants to go is to reduce the amount of build to reduce the costs," he said.
"They put all these reforms in place and that's the direction that both Sweden and Italy went. They proposed bids with very little construction.
"In Calgary, you wanted a field house, you wanted a stadium and that's not happening in these other two countries, or at least, that's not happening now that Italy is the winner."
International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach from Germany opens the envelope announcing that Milan – Cortina has won the bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, defeating the other cadidate Stockholm – Are, during the first day of the 134th Session of the IOC at the SwissTech Convention Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland on June 24, 2019.
Livingstone said Italy's venues are spread across the country's north and the country only proposed rebuilding a sliding track.
"Calgary wouldn't match up well with that philosophy and that's the direction the IOC wants to go," he said.

Recommendation Letter for Tallman Trask – dept of.
I noticed Tallman between January and March of 1994 but did not have the pleasure of making his acquaintance until June 6th 2006. It was a year after some personal problems and just months after Duke's Lacrosse Scandal began when I found him sitting at my hometown bar – He's Not Here, a property I own. Great bar– I've made a lots of deals there.
It hadn't been easy for Tallman. He was faced with a number of tremendous challenges in his life– challenges that most people don't come back from. But Tallman is a very smart guy. He knows a good deal when he sees it and he knew mine was good the moment I laid it out in front of him.
He responded at 8:45 p.m., copying former Young Trustee Sunny Kantha, Trinity '09, senior Chris Brown, Young Trustee-elect, and Paul Harraka, Trinity '12, now a race car driver, to alert them to my inquiry.
Over the years I have worked incredibly hard to get Tallman into the highest echelons of administration within the walls of Duke, but as you can see he hasn't made it easy. It finally came to the point where I had to cement his position at Duke by pulling a few strings here and there to save Duke a couple hundred million dollars in the midst of the financial crisis. After that, Tallman was declared a hero, and I thought my work was done.
But of course, it wasn't that easy. I go out of my way to make things simple for him, and he still can't hit someone with his car and drop racial slurs without the entire world finding out. However, in a moment where most administrative officials in his position would have been immediately asked to resign, he managed to slip away unharmed by serving as the head of a "task force" to rename buildings at Duke (thanks to yours truly). He was originally instructed to convince the board to rename West Union after Abele, but you have to understand that some of those board members have weird complexes and could never agree to demands from some protesters – I should know, I've done a lot of deals with them. Besides, we can always do what we did with Edens again– we'll make Abele a riot-proof quad and have the students pay for it.
All that being said though, Tallman Trask is fiercely loyal and a hell of a dancer. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

This is a video of a presentation on the history of St. Michael's Orphanage given by local historian, Jack Koeppel. Mr. Koeppel used images from the past along with stories and facts about St Michael's to help attendees develop a better understanding of the property's past, present and future.
As the 19th century came to a close many of the issues facing the new nation had been dealt with. America had become a world power and the county now stretched "from sea to shining sea". As the cities grew, and the population increased by leaps and bounds, the problem of orphaned and children from troubled homes became an important social issue across the l and. The Catholic Church stepped to the forefront of the matter and adopted the concept a large orphanages to house, educate and prepare these unfortunate children for adult life. St Michael's Orphanage and Industrial School was built to address the problem locally.

At MichiganLabs, we believe that unit testing is a vital part of developing any application. Tests help document the expected behavior of your code, give instant feedback on mistakes while refactoring, and help prevent you from writing sphagetti code (since it would be difficult to test). So how do you know when you have written enough tests? This is where coverage measurement tools come in.
Coverage tools will track what parts of your code are executed by your test cases and give you a report of what remains untested. These tools exist for virtually every language. The one I use for Python is called coverage.py. However, these tools sometimes have nuances that could trick you into thinking you have a higher amount of coverage than you really do.
Bear in mind that just because your coverage tool now reports 100% branch coverage, it does not mean your test coverage is comprehensive. Branch coverage monitoring is a good tool to help you get there but be sure to think about other edge cases, such as raised exceptions when calling external library functions. Multiple conditions or the use of the all() builtin inside an if statement can also be tricky since the coverage tool will only record whether or not the execution path went through the if or the else section, not which conditions of the if statement made it take that route.


In reference to Donald Trump's discrimination against Muslims in the US, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad claimed that nobody should indulge such discrimination.
With regards to contradictory rhetoric from opposing candidates of the presidential election, Assad said he is not concerned with rhetoric but action and that this rhetoric is often temporal; fleeting.
Furthermore, Assad lambasted US presidents as inexperienced.
Finally Assad claims that the US enabled the emergence of ISIS and that Russia's interventionism made this clear.
Could it be that radical Islamists are working with global powers to delegitimize Islam and to manufacture consent for security initiatives in the Middle East? Since neither stability, democracy or development appear to be the honest objectives of world powers involved in the region, namely the US, such a corroboration isn't unlikely. It could be that these radicals are mere products of US interventionism in the region to begin with, a sort of religious but also nationalistic retaliation. What is certain is that these forces are unstable, and their origins lies in the realm of foreign occupation.

Aristonectes (meaning 'best swimmer') is an extinct genus of plesiosaur from the Late Cretaceous Paso del Sapo Formation of what is now Argentina, the Quiriquina Formation of Chile and the Lopez de Bertodano Formation of Antarctica. The type species is Aristonectes parvidens, first named by Cabrera in 1941.

Description

Aristonectes quiriquinensis was a large plesiosaur, with the holotype measuring over  long and weighing . A rough estimate based on the specimen from the Lopez de Bertodano Formation (identified as cf. Aristonectes sp.) indicates that Aristonectes was one of the largest plesiosaurs ever to exist, with an estimated body length of  and an estimated body mass of .

Classification

Aristonectes was classified variously since its original 1941 description, but a 2003 review of plesiosaurs from Patagonia conducted by Gasparini et al. (2003) found that Aristonectes was most closely related to elasmosaurid plesiosaurs like Elasmosaurus. The authors also considered Morturneria a junior synonym of Aristonectes because the former's holotype has unfused neural arches of the vertebrae indicative of juvenile status. Subsequent study, however, revalidated Morturneria based on non-ontogenetic differences from Aristonectes.

Aristonectes was placed within its own family, Aristonectidae, along with Tatenectes, Kaiwhekea, and Kimmerosaurus, by O'Keefe and Street (2009), as sister family of the polycotylid cryptoclidoids. However, subsequent studies (Otero et al., 2014) returned Aristonectes to Elasmosauridae, recovering the genus as a derived elasmosaurid and therefore relegating Aristonectidae to a subfamily of Elasmosauridae, as Aristonectinae.

How Blue-Green Algae Can Harm Your Dog
Reviewed by Juliane Evans

There's a type of blue-green algae that can poison animals, and it's enough to worry pet owners everywhere. This scary summertime hazard is life-threatening to dogs and other animals, including humans. Find out how to keep your pets safe from algae intoxication.
What is Toxic Algae?
Often called blue-green algae, this toxin is technically cyanobacteria, not algae. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms, meaning they get their energy from the sun. These organisms use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose, oxygen, and water. They can also produce dangerous toxins.
Cyanobacteria contain toxins that are harmful or fatal to most animals. The growth of algae is often referred to as "blooms." Cyanobacteria are known as "Harmful Algal Blooms" or HABs.
Cyanobacteria look like algae and bloom in a similar manner. Blue-green algae thrive in warm, sunny temperatures and freshwater environments. Cyanobacteria can sometimes live in saltwater or brackish (mixed) bodies of water. Blue-green algae can even form in aquariums.
Blue-green algae/cyanobacteria blooms may appear as a greenish-blue, red or greenish-brown film floating on the water. It may appear slimy, foamy, or look like "pond scum" that gathers near the shoreline. Not all contaminated bodies of water will have obvious algae blooms; the water may simply appear murky or dirty. In addition, water contaminated with cyanobacteria often has a foul odor.
Because warm temperatures promote the growth of cyanobacteria, intoxication is most likely to occur in the summer months. If ingested, the toxin is extremely dangerous to most animals, including dogs, cats, wildlife, fish, birds, livestock, and even humans.
Signs of Algae Intoxication in Dogs
Toxicity occurs after ingestion of harmful blue-green algae. Dogs are most likely to be affected after swimming in water that contains cyanobacteria. This is because dogs tend to ingest water while swimming. They may also lick the toxin from their coats after swimming. It only takes a small amount of contaminated water to lead to poisoning.
Cyanobacteria can contain a few different types of toxins. They can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, skin, and nervous system. Sadly, cyanobacteria poisoning is often fatal to animals.
Signs of Blue-Green Algae Toxicity
Symptoms may appear as quickly as 15 minutes after exposure. Most animals will show signs within one to two hours after ingesting the toxin. Some types of cyanotoxins will take up to 24 hours to appear. Always observe your pets closely for any sign of illness.
Discharge from eyes
Ataxia (drunken gait)
Pale, white, yellow, or blue mucous membranes
Black or bloody stool
What to Do If Your Dog Is Exposed to Toxic Algae
If you suspect your pet has been exposed to blue-green algae/cyanobacteria, you should consider this an emergency situation. Bring your pet to the nearest open veterinary office immediately. There is nothing you can do at home to treat this. Inducing vomiting is not effective due to the rapid absorption of the toxins. Your veterinarian is your pet's only chance of survival.
Unfortunately, there is no antidote for cyanobacteria poisoning. Treatments are available to offer supportive care and manage the symptoms. Your vet will likely administer intravenous fluids and provide medications to alleviate or prevent symptoms. Your pet will likely need to be hospitalized for intensive care.
How to Keep Your Dog Safe From Toxic Algae
The best way to protect your pets from toxic blue-green algae is to keep them away from bodies of water that may contain the toxins. Do not let your pet swim in, wade through, or drink from water that looks stagnant, murky or dirty, has an odor, or appears to have algae on the surface. Note that algae may not always be easy to spot. When in doubt, keep your pet away from any water that is not flowing, clear, and odorless.
If your dog has been in a body of water that seems suspicious, use a hose to rinse off all residue immediately. If you are concerned that your dog ingested some of the water, it's best to contact your vet just in case.
To avoid accidental contact with contaminated water, avoid allowing pets to roam free. Keep your dog on a leash or in a fenced-in area. Keep cats indoors or in secure outdoor enclosures while supervised. Prevention is the key to preventing a tragic fate.

Supermodel Anne V. might've earned her runway wings walking in Victoria's Secret fashion shows. But she became an angel of a different sort (you know, the guardian kind) a few years ago at the New York City Marathon. Here's the rundown on how the Russian-born bombshell found herself going the distance for a good cause.
My dad was a really big runner—both my parents are doctors. He was in sports medicine and wasn't really the dad who took me to school every day or went to my dance recitals because he traveled his whole life for work.
But I do remember having some amazing memories of him running. And when I was little, he would always drag me for runs. I thought of it as torture back then, but when I was 18 years old, it really brought back some amazing memories—once I began running on my own in New York.
My career in modeling, which started when I was 15, had just taken off, really fast—I started doing all the shows and signed a contract with Chanel. But I was by myself, without my parents. And then, my body sort of changed overnight—it finally caught up to what it really should be—and my agency pretty much told me to lose weight.
When your life is unpredictable and it goes up and down, exercising is one stable thing you can do to take charge of it.
This was 15 years ago, where no one talked about being healthy or working out. I didn't even know what to do. My mom never lost weight; she never talked about it. I'd never been to a gym.
The answer is: No, you don't. What you do need to do is eat healthy and exercise. For me that meant finding a workout that I loved—and the only thing that I really knew was running. I just kind of started doing it and remembering all those great times with my dad. And the more I did it, the more I loved it.
Anne V. and her father at the NYC Marathon in 2009.
When your life is unpredictable and it goes up and down, exercising is one stable thing you can do to take charge of it. If you want to be No. 1 for yourself and be the best—you can be. And I think that's what I started doing with running, and that's why exercise became this big part of my life.
So we just did the whole thing together. It was the most amazing experience because I stuck out the battle and helped someone achieve their dream (and mine, too)—we did it together.
If you're now feeling super motivated to put in some miles—for a marathon or just for fun—here are the best running apps and activewear to keep you pacing toward your goals.


In 2003, police officers received a tip from an anonymous caller for a "large animal" that was biting people in Harlem. The NYPD narrowed down the search to Antoine Yates's apartment and, when they arrived on the scene, the "large animal" turned out to be a 400-pound Bengali tiger. Oh, and an alligator, too.
Well, one officer had to grapple down from the roof and tranquilize the ferocious animal; Yates was later arrested for reckless endangerment and the animals were taken to a shelter nearby, even though it was seen that the Bengali tiger was actually in great shape. Commissioner Ray Kelly described the encounter as an "only-in-New-York story" and we couldn't agree more.
Why did we mention this story from nine years ago? Yesterday, a similar event occurred in Crown Heights and nostalgia is always an appropriate introduction. For an unrelated matter, police officers were conducting a search of Weeksville Houses on Dean Street around 2 in the afternoon. By accident, they stumbled upon a public housing version of the Bronx Zoo.
FYI: none of these animals are allowed in public housing or anywhere near groups of people, for that matter. And, due to this little rule, Animal Care and Control removed the creatures from the apartment and brought them to safety.
Fortunately, we have all these pictures of the exotic animals to gleam at, courtesy of the Daily News. Unfortunately, the owner of the apartment was not present so we can't find out why the hell this person had a tarantula and where in the world he or she found a bearded dragon.


Working with Valeo, a large supplier to the automotive industry, which was already the provider of the first generation of Stop & Start systems, engineers from Citroen (and Peugeot, its sister brand) developed a better version. The new Stop & Start will have the ability to work with the car rolling below 20-kph (13-mph). So you're driving your car with a manual transmission, you see a red light in front of you, you brake and at the same time you put your car into neutral. When your speed's below 13-mph, the engine is automatically cut off. When the light gets green. You press the clutch and switch to first gear, and by the time you depress the clutch, engine has restarted without any driver intervention, you're ready to go. The manufacturer says that in heavy city traffic, this system, which goes by the name of e-HDI reduces fuel consumption by 15%.
One unfortunate fact is that this system has been tailored to work with HDI engines, which are diesel. It's not available with a gas engine. But hey, diesels are more efficient, and with this system, they will be even more so. European drivers will agree. Citroen and Peugeot estimate than in 2012, 30% of their diesels will be e-HDI.


If you're one of those individuals who has a penchant for making a career in singing, read some practical tips and tricks here, to become a great singer.
If music is your first love and singing brings solace to your heart and soul, then undoubtedly, there is more in it for you than just pursuing singing as a hobby or a favorite pastime. Not many of us are lucky enough to pursue a career that matches our passion and hobby. So if singing is your passion, then you can consider to make your career in this field.
Those who're interested in learning the simple steps to be a singer, they must consider that singing is not a field that is very easy to follow, as at every step, one has to face challenges and hurdles. Overcoming obstacles and climbing the ladder of success gradually is the only way out to prove your mettle in this field.
No matter you're in high school or college, the earlier you start, the better it is. You won't be able to make an entry in music industry, if you don't start early.
If you're 13 and you want to make a career as a singer, then it is advisable that although, at 13, you can't become a great singer, you'll get many opportunities in the future, to make your mark in this field. Starting at relatively younger age is very important. Many singers started very early, participating in singing competitions, even in their childhood!
To make a career in singing, you can't just rely on your good voice. In fact, a good voice just shows you have the potential to be a good singer. You must get training from professional music and singing teachers, so that you're able to sharpen your skills.
Without that, your dream of becoming a great singer in professional music world is just useless. In your training, you'll be thought about various types of music like classical music and other genres of music. Moreover, give attention toward learning signing lessons as that is vital to be aware about intricacies of singing.
Learning to play some musical instruments is also a great idea as it is the hallmark of a great stage performer. Even dancing is something that you must learn to better your stage performance. Enhance your singing, as mediocrity has no value in the field of music owing to tough competition in this field.
Being a performer on stage is something that doesn't come easily. Get yourself acquainted to performing on stage by singing in events, functions, ceremonies, hotels, bars and any other places, where you get an opportunity to sing.
Initially, it may not be your choice as to where you want to sing! But imagine, once you become a great singer, you'll have the choice to sign your own contracts and choose what you want to sing! Till that moment of truth arrives, be humble and try to learn as much as you can, about singing.
To become a famous singer, you have to make very strong professional relationships with people in the same field. You never know when you will be spotted by some music company or any rock band to sing for them.
Since music industry solely thrives on talents and contacts, you have to be sociable so that you can get opportunities. Be a part of duo or be a solo singer, sing for bands, vocal groups, music schools etc., do anything and everything to enhance your singing skills.
Technology has given a new dimension to communication in our lives. If you love singing, record your songs and upload it on YouTube, send it to various music companies at regional, state and national level. Shed the fear of rejection.
You may get many rejections initially but that is immaterial. You must not be bothered about hundred rejections but you must be ready to prove your mettle, once you get an opportunity. Don't get bogged down by initial rejections. This is one of the most important aspects of how to get discovered as a singer.
Participate in every regional, state and national level competitions. If you go on succeeding, you will be discovered in this field.
Not everyone can become John Lennon or Lady Gaga in the music world, so it is important to be practical. Pursue singing but don't neglect academic studies, and attend college sincerely . Education is important because, given the unpredictable path of a career in singing, you can't rely on it completely.
There are hundreds of thousands of people who work in various sectors and they're also trying their luck in singing, which is a good decision as not everyone can succeed in singing, as it is very competitive field.
American Idol and various other reality TV shows have given platform to some of the amazing singing talents in US. Besides that, there are various regional, national and international, talent show auditions held to promote singing talent. Just be aware about every opportunity, take chances and keep trying.
Invest daily few hours in practice, as that is the key for honing your skills. Hard work pays in the long run. Even the Beatles performed for thousands of hours in clubs, restaurants and bars, before they got their major break.
Many opportunities come in life and we miss them, only to regret later. Fields like singing and sports are such that it is very crucial to seize the right opportunity at the right time.
No doubt, skill and talents are generally at the top when it comes to success in these fields, sometimes, you must have that luck factor. If you ask 'what does it take to become a singer', then the answer would be, it requires more than singing talent to prove your mettle in singing field.
Nonetheless, as the old adage says, fortune favors the brave, so keep taking calculated risks and you never know, when you hit the bull's eyes and get a grand opportunity to showcase your talent.
Remember, unlike for traditional professions, there is no fixed answer of the question, how long does it take to become a singer. It all depends on how fast you succeed individually. However, remember that singing is an art and even if you don't succeed as a great singer, it doesn't demean the value of your singing in any way.
For many people, singing is just like connecting to their souls and expressing themselves. Rest other things, like money, professionalism, fame and success, matter only to a certain extent. There are many people who just sing for the love of singing!


Many companies have invested in good video conferencing equipments, but are unable to connect different video systems. These limitations are due to incompatibilities between standard-based video conference protocols - SIP and H.323 - and between video rooms and other devices.

Make use of your existing Avaya, Cisco, Lifesize or Polycom video infrastructure and connect to any other system in the world - from desktops to video conferencing rooms.
Your company invested in a high quality video conferencing equipment some years ago. At first, it was used a few times to communicate with other branch offices. The real problem came when some of your clients and partners started to acquire video conferencing systems and ask to meet in video conferences. Some had bought systems with a different protocol than the one your company have, which made impossible to host video meetings with those clients and partners. Gradually, your company reduced the number of video meetings until people began to think the system was obsolete and had been a waste of money.
VEEDEEO solves connection issues and allows your video room to link with any video system in the world, regardless of manufacturer or protocol language. Do not postpone meetings with those clients or partners who like to close deals as fast as possible, or waste time waiting for the most opportune time to close those deals.

Is It Better to Buy Auto Insurance from Bigger Insurers?
Large car insurers can be dominating the commercials to the extent that people warm up to them quickly. Also, it is likely that they keep coming up in various searches online and offline. With sizable budgets it is normal that they will have a presence in the market. Does this suggest that people should only choose larger car insurance companies? And more to the point, what should they do when they get a great quote from a lesser known firm?
There are a few benefits of being with a highly recognized firm. For one, they would not get to where they are if they were not good and solid. Then, they have more money to come up with great packages and be competitive vehicle insurance providers. However, they may have an attitude that says we are a large company and we can do what we like. This point may bother many people especially after a bad press.
Quite a few people prefer to spend their money with a local automobile insurance firm than a multinational giant. They believe that the money will remain in the local economy. Contrarily, a large insurer can easily move their base and a few have already set up call centers and such outside the USA. Perception of a company can be important and affect people's choice.
Motorists should judge a company in several ways. First one would be the price. Unless they offer attractive enough car insurance prices they would not even be in your radar to consider. Secondly, they should have a good customer care. If a broker brought such company to your attention they would know how their other customers have been treated in the past by the firm. A good recommendation from an independent broker should help ease the worries. Lastly, they should be in good financial standing. It is easy to find their ratings online.
Few leading car insurance carriers don't only sell most policies but also they own some of the smaller companies. The independent small insurers can be successful in certain areas and they may be specialist in certain types of risks. Then, it is possible some applicants get better deals from them. Buying a policy is matching the risk with a suitable coverage.
Smaller auto insurance companies may be loved more by the local community. The brokers may push their policies where possible and those companies may be responding with great customer service and claim handling. They may be involved more within the community by supporting charities and local sports. Indeed, in their core region they can be pretty competitive since they have a good knowledge of the area and run on small budget.Certain drivers may be better off with a small but specialist firm.
Larger carriers offer great products to good drivers. However, they may not want to deal with complicated cases. Then, it may be necessary to find a company that will listen and come up with agreeable terms.
The bottom line is that quite a few determinants can be circumstantial and personal. Nonetheless, it is best to go through the process of buying a policy step by step. First of all, you should get a few quotes before doing anything. Once you have a shortlist of reasonable quotes you can compare them and make a choice.
Why Do People Switch Auto Insurance Companies?


The landscape thumbnails that I drew in March are below. I worked with a very limited palette of warm and cool gray pens, to match the winter landscape of dry prairie, gray clouds and dark gray roads. As I drew these thumbnails, I wondered what visual elements make a landscape personal, how can a landscape contain meaning for the viewer, and how does it relate to our understanding of where we are, or where we are going?
I found encaustic enabled me to combine the disparate elements of collage, image transfers, fabric and paper, and illustration. The layering of opacity, translucency and colour was interesting. Could I use it with the precise nature of a map or data visualization? How would that affect my ability to tell a story with image? It might fall apart under its own weight but I decided to give it a try for Project 2.


I remember being taught the difference between continuous and continual at school and knowing that they were not interchangeable, but also knowing that I'd be likely to muddle them up. So I decided to look them up fifty years later and be clear about how to distinguish between them.
The continuous noisy humming of the cicadas in the jungle got on his nerves.

Continual indicates duration that goes on over a long period of time, recurring at regular or frequent intervals, but with breaks in between.
The continual street repairs by various companies disrupted traffic for months.
To be a successful ballet dancer requires continual practice.

The Bicentenary Event – Port Macquarie-Hastings
It's been 200 years since Port Macquarie was established as a secondary punishment site for troublesome convicts. In cannot be denied that this caused suffering and displacement for the land's traditional owners, the Birpai people. Until April 18, the Bicentenary Event gives locals and visitors a chance to explore the region's diverse and challenging history. Many community-led events are taking place acknowledging the past and looking forward to a positive future.
The Birpai people are the traditional custodians of the lands of the Hastings region. For tens of thousands of years, they lived on country before Surveyor-General John Oxley mapped and named the area in 1818. 200 years ago in 1821, Port Macquarie was established a secondary punishment site for troublesome convicts.
Reflecting on the Past
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council's CEO, Dr Clare Allen notes the importance of reflecting on our past to learn and build an inclusive and positive future for the community.
"Our aim is to bring our community together, and guide them through our place, discovering the stories that weave together to make the Port Macquarie-Hastings region what it was, what it is, and what it will be," she says.
"Council and our Bicentenary Working Group have been working closely with a diverse range of community members, including our Aboriginal community, to ensure that their stories are at the very core of our reflections."
The nine-day program features a line-up of foreshore activities and visiting vessels, trails to explore, exhibitions, and a performance program. The aim is to allow the community to discover new and unexpected pockets of culture, heritage, nature, and tastes.
Wakulda
A captivating night-time art installation, Wakulda will be the focal event of the Port Macquarie Bicentenary program. It screens nightly between 6-9pm until April 18.
Wakulda means 'As One' in the Gathang language of the local Birpai people. It centres on telling the stories of all who have walked this place.
Sunset Sessions
Bring down a picnic blanket, snacks, drinks, your crew and enjoy the sunset on Town Green with live music to top it off! There are free gigs every night from 5 o'clock.
The Coral Trekker
See the 23-metre, square rigged, wooden tall ship moored at Lady Nelson Wharf. You'll be able to experience real maritime history with public access available for the duration of the Coral Trekker's visit. Book a one-hour sail or enjoy a tasty meal on board. Tickets start at $15.
